To implement NetSwitch II-M, it requires any additional devices?

 

  Now, Yes. NetSwitch II-M has to be located between internal Hub and external Hub.

  Like this, it requires two Hubs for internal and external network. So we would say that you need

  one additional Hub.

  But, we plan to embed Switching Hub in NetSwitch II-M sooner or later. Then you do not need

  additional Hubs for external network.

 

   How does NetSwitch II-M prevent any data or information leakage from the

     intruders?

 

  NetSwitch II-M  separates your network into internal and external network physically on a

  single network cable. That means that there is not any physical network connection between

  internal and external network.  Fundamentally, it is impossible for any hackers to intrude into

  your internal network. Thus you can secure your internal network from the intruders outside.

  

   How many users does NetSwitch II-M Support?

  

  NetSwitch II-M supports 24 UTP (10/100Mbps) ports.

  

  Does it cause any data delay when the data is transmitted and received from the

    clients?

  

  No, users who use NetSwitch II-M transmit and receive the data only through Hub and NIC.

  NetSwitch II-M does not control any packet. It just repeats the packet.

  

  Does it support any management features?

  

  No, But you can check NetSwitch II-M status through LED in front.

  

  What kinds of protocols does it support?

  

  It supports all of protocols. It does not control any data flowing on the network.

  

  Is it easy to use NetSwitch II-M, from the user's point of view?

  

  Yes, it is very simple in operation. Only one drawback of NetSwitch II-M is that you can not use

  internal and external network at the same time. Whenever you want to access into the other

  network from the current network, you have to switch the network through IPChanger, a bundle

  program of NetSwitch II-M. But it just takes 1.5 seconds to switch the network.

  

  How can you reduce the network traffic with NetSwitch II-M?

  Basically, In case of a single network cable, there are two kinds of network traffics, internal and

  external network traffic. But, If you separate your network into internal and external network

  physically, it is quite natural that internal network traffic only flows on the internal network

  and external network traffic flows on the external network. So it is possible that you can reduce

  the internal network traffic up to 50%

  

  In order to switch the network into another, any software is required?

  

  Yes, you need to install IPChanger, a bundle program of NetSwitch II-M, on your PC.

  You can switch the network into another by clicking the icon of IPChanger. If you click the icon

  of IPChanger, IPChanger generates a special packet and sends the packet to NetSwitch II-M.

  Then NetSwitch II-M analyzes the packet in order to decide whether to connect or disconnect

  the network. Thus you must install IPChanger on your PC, in order to  use NetSwitch II-M.

  

  Should I have two IP addresses for internal and external network?

  

  Yes, you should use two IP addresses for internal and external network.  In addition, you can

  separate your gateway, DNS, and then some according to your policy. But you can set your IP

  addresses on the same IP addresses as you use one IP address.

  

  Do I have to reboot my computer whenever I switch the network into another?

  

  No, you do not need to reboot your computer. If you click the icon of IPChanger, IPChanger

  converts your IP address automatically without any system reboot.
